**BT, REVIEW** RIPPED ~ REAL SERIES ~ KATY EVANS ~

The fifth story in the new adult series that began with the New York Times bestseller REAL.

New Adult Contemporary

Publisher: Simon & Schuster

Release: December 9, 2014

Every woman wants
me--except the one I sing for.

Seattle shakes with
anticipation: they call it the concert of the year. They say girls are getting
pregnant just thinking about my band being in town.

But when you love a
girl, you don't leave her with nothing but a ring and a promise. Any man with
half a brain should know.

So what did I expect
my girl would do when she saw me again?

Well, for starters,
she loathes our music. Particularly the song I wrote about her.

When I sing it, the
stadium is in an uproar. Thousands of fans scream my name like I'm a god--but
yeah, not her. Crystal clear: the girl's not happy to see me.

Black hair, black
boots, a bad attitude, that's her -- Pandora Stone is a freaking man-eater and
she's out for my blood.

That's alright.

Let her come at me. Because I'm out for her
heart and, this time, there's no way she can stop me.

Katy Evans is back with a vengeance in Ripped.

In Ripped we meet rocker MacKenna Jones, the bad boy from the wrong side of town who will never be good enough for the likes of Pandora.

Pandora is one of those good girls. The ones you see from afar and can only dream of gracing her presence. Shunned by her family, Kenna knows he has to make some hard decisions. Decisions that will haunt him. When life pulls Kenna & Pandora back together, fights are fought, cameras are rolling, things go flying, and secrets are exposed.

As per usual, Katy Evans has no trouble delving into her characters and bringing then to life before us. Every character that she creates has a unique depth to them. We feel their pain, we feel their joy, and by the end of the book we feel sorrow that their story is finished.

Katy Evans grew up with books and book-boyfriends until she
found a real sexy boyfriend to love. They married and are now hard at work on
their own happily ever after. Katy loves her family and friends, and she also
loves reading, walking, baking, and being consumed by her characters until she
reaches “The End.” Which is, hopefully, only the beginning…
